I watch this every year not last year and I play it as loud as I can I open the outer doors and sing out loud land off hope and glory my neighbours must think I am mad but it makes me feel good xxxx it Elgar great I hope Britten is still great all ways xxx
Britten's music is still great (he died a while ago) but Britain is very much kaput
This is beyond fabulous! To have a video of Jonathan playing Elgar’s stirring March No.1 on the Royal Albert Hall organ, with Tom’s superbly filmed background, is absolute perfection for me. Dreams can come true!
It's criminal that these instruments are locked away and rarely used. You can't go and play it for a few hours, even with an FRCO from round the corner! So it sits, locked in an empty hall gathering dust whilst you're told to get lost. And it's the same all over London and probably beyond. People aren't taking the instrument up because of access. I'd love to book two hours with it, I'd even pay a running cost based fee. This should be an inspiration to young musicians, but in reality they'd be lucky to get their hands on a local instrument.
That said, it's the best recording of this instrument I've heard.
Way back in 1996 at the AGO (American Guild of Organists) National Convention in NYC, I had the pleasure of meeting and giving a ride to (I drove to NYC from Florida in my car as I'm from NYC and wanted the convenience of having my car to get around) a well known British organist who I won't identify. In our conversation, I remarked how some organists in America are rather selfish and won't allow others to play the instruments in their church and this organist said that it was worse in England as I asked how easy would it be for me to access organs there whenever I finally made it there (I've yet to go). That news saddened me.
You hit the nail on the head. Its the story of my life. Never allowed access growing up in NYC, but I managed to crash a number of organs over the years several times over. The people that control the organs have no appreciation for music or knowledge of music. Just stupid peasants who exercise their power over the powerless.
@@mudgebauer
That's sad and I'm sorry that you were denied access. What era was that? I started playing in 1968 and made my rounds to as many churches in NYC as possible while growing up there and I at this moment don't remember ever being turned away and if I was, I've forgotten about it by now.
I've played every major organ in NYC before moving out in 1987. I played St. Thomas 5th Ave at age 15, Riverside at age 16 and three more times afterwards. Upon my subsequent trips home every summer to drop my son off to hangout with his grandparents for the summer, I played St. Patrick's cathedral and many more as I was very lucky to have met kind and generous organists like Fred Swann and Gerre Hancock. I also started playing SJD in 1974 after Alec Wyton retired. I was lucky indeed. The last significant organ that I played before moving was the largest in NYC at St. Bartholomew's in 1986 and after that experience swore that I'd never go back there until their asswipe organist either retired or dropped dead (he finally retired about 5 months ago) as he was a real prick.
It sounds like you ran into total anuses and that's sad because they don't OWN those organs. I hope that things improved for you. All the best to you.
I've been trying to play since I was 14. I've never had any trouble with access to local instruments, even the local town hall, so I must be fairly lucky. I think some places may shy away possibly due to bad experiences in the past, some people who would like access can be VERY pushy and demanding about it. I just hope they realise that we aren't all like that.
@@OrganMusicYT
It very well can be hit or miss. Organists are THE snobbiest musicians in probably the world, but definitely here in America and they're sickening with their behaviour as they turn off and thus turn away so many people from the profession. I've met enough of them in my 51 years of playing the organ. I can't stand them and usually stay the hell away from them and I'm talking about those flighty guys as most female organists I've met were exceedingly cool.
For one guy to arrange and perform this piece for organ is a monumental achievement. His dexterity - especially feet - is extraordinary - but the vision to arrange a piece like this is incredible. I was at the last night of the proms as an eight year old -in the 60s - and sat next to one of the 32/64 foot pipes as this piece was played. The thrill when the pipe sounded right next to me has never dwindled. Fabulous to hear the whole piece played by one man. Amazing !!
@Simon Clover The large front pipes are particuarly noteworthy, being the 32' Contra Violone on the Great Primary Division and also borrowed on the Pedal. They have a very high tin content, which makes them rather unique. They were also extended in length to make them look more impressive, so that bottom C is just over 40 feet in length. When the organ was rebuilt in 2002-04 the organ builder John Mander wanted to clean the pipes back to their original bright and shiny appearance. One small section at the rear of one of the pipes was cleaned to show how they would look. The pipes are not painted, they are simply oxidised through dirt and cigarette smoke. The organ Consultant at the time (who I will not name) refused to give his permission to do this. Such a shame.
Amazing we don’t hear more of this instrument. Quite a thing!
P.S I had to watch this after watching Diane Bish murdering this on the organ of Canterbury cathedral.
Just been and checked it. You are right!
Never heard this organ played so well before and such a fitting piece to play. Some years ago I visited Lincoln Cathedral and there I found a little keyboard set into the wall on either side. I expect some of you will know the proper name for these but I was startled to find that they played. I tried to play Trumpet Voluntary by Purcell but felt a tap on my shoulder. It was the cathedrals resident organist who said "You don't want to try playing that on that, come with me". He took me up to the organ loft, fired up the organ and played it there. What a gorgeous sound, I wonder if anyone else has played the Lincoln Cathedral organ?
@Eggs and Chips Jeremiah Clarke?
I have never played any cathedral organ but it must be a fantastic experience l do enjoy playing g the organ at my local church
Wow... organists that side must be kind 🤭 I know places where you'd be kicked out for playing without permission.
This never gets old !!!
Amazing talent !!!
Beautiful 😢
Pittsburgh Pa. USA
Tugs at the heart strings for all us Englishmen. A lovely arrangement, played beautifully by the remarkable Jonathan Scott. Well done.
Likewise us Canadians!
@@jamesneville2746 And indeed us kiwis!
Bloody brilliant! Beautiful arrangement Johnathon, I've never heard it on the organ before and as an ex organ builder that's the culmination of a life's work for a builder. Proud of what my old firm did to it in the 2004 rebuild. Last time I was at that console turning for the organist in the 1986 Redbridge schools choral festival the action was as noisy as hell as H&Harrison had put the pressures up so high, also, wind was leaking everywhere you needed a coat on, it was so windy at the console! I think Mander's made a brilliant job of the rebuild. The organ sounds magnificent and I bet Father Willis is looking down with pride on his original creation.
This man plays a whole orchestra all by himself.
With only two hands and two feet.
What a feast for the ears!
Truly magnificent, the arrangement, the setting, the playing and the organ. A big thank you. Hopefully more from the Royal Albert Hall, in future.
Parrys Jerusalem would be a rather good suggestion I think
I have always loved this piece. And this arrangement of it certainly did it justice. Bravo!
Please, please, please listen to your audience. We need to hear more of this fantastic instrument. It is a national treasure. Don't leave it gathering dust.
Well. After hearing this, I graduated. No need to finish my last semester. You did it for me.
He plays better with his feet alone than I can play with my hands. Splendid performance! Absolutely brilliant!
Amen to that. I played a brass instrument at school and had enough trouble with three keys.
This organist is superb
Agree
@@WillyParker04 , et très beau
Stunning performance. A magnificent organ in an iconic and historical venue played by a brilliant and incredibly talented organist! Thank you Scott brothers!
Wow! Outstanding registration on an outstanding organ!
Revisiting this wonderful performance, I cannot believe it has been a year since I last watched it. My previous statement has not changed. This is a superb performance.
Superb! Surely one of THE most quintessentially "English" melodies ever penned.
ALWAYS such a joy to listen to Jonathan. Such skill, such passion.
This is the best organ for this piece.
agreed
Wonderful!
Absolutely magnificent. We need you to play more organ concerts here Jonathan. Thank you Tom for providing brilliant footage for those of us not yet fortunate enough to have seen the inside of this building and magnificent organ.
Fantastic. I enjoyed being in the Albert Hall this year in January. Love this dearly. Awesome Sir. USA
Lovely. Took me right back 50 years to when I heard Finlandia performed on that organ. That piece suits the orchestral stops wonderfully.
Everytime i hear this i remember graduation from college
what an amazing performance from this fabolous organist .grand finale of the last night of the proms
.
Great visual photography of the RAH as well - thanks for posting
Wonderful to hear this magnificent organ. There should be more recitals throughout the year on this organ. Did attend Olivier Latry's recital as part of the 2019 Proms.
So did we, what did you think of the time the Prom started for Organists who may have wished to attend
That would have been wonderfully. I've been transported by his improvising at Notre Dame, St Sulpice (both of those on YT) and St Patrick's Basilica in Melbourne, and Sacred Heart Cathedral in Bendigo (both of those live recitals).
Magnificent playing !
Vous êtes un géni
I am here on the first day. Wowowow. Lovely performance. I have always being a fan. I am still a fan
Absolutely Stunning Johnathan really enjoyed this - an Organ on everyone's bucket list to visit and play including me! :-)
Absolutely magnificent. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. To possess such a talent, and share it with the world....words cannot suffice to express our gratitude. No doubt, many like me, have tears in their eyes as they hear this beautiful masterpiece
i could hear it 24hours a day.. GREAT!!!
Absolutely chilling X
Superb.
A pity that, so I am told, the organ does not get much use, despite the very costly rebuild.
More than you would think!
@@9fq6z More use, or more costly?
@@jamspoon59 the organ rebuild cost nearly £2 million, with all the original pipework retained and preserved and with only one new addition, the IV rank Fourniture on the Great Secondary division. And yet this famous instrument, the largest concert hall organ in Europe, is hardly ever used. The hall management are simply not interested.
@@ds1868 Thanks for the response. So short-sighted of RAH management. With UK organists like Jonathan Scott and Richard Hills, this instrument could generate a long-overdue revival of interest in the organ. Across the Ditch (Rotterdam, for instance) imaginative organ concerts pack venues.
@@jamspoon59 completely agree. It's almost as bad at the Royal Festival Hall, another iconic organ with over 7,000 pipes but there is a more consistent organ concert programme there. The problem at the RAH is that with so many diverse events going on the organ gets shunted to the bottom. It's also not helped by the fact that the organ curator is not a professional organist. He's not a particularly warm character either. It all conspires to reduce the profile of a fantastic instrument.
Beautiful organ wonderful sound
Glad to see that the Albert Hall sprung for the extra keys. ;) Gotta have five octaves, yanno.
Thank you for posting this. Great performance. I am surprised by how little reverberation there is in that hall. I suppose with all the cloth-covered seats, sound must be absorbed quickly. This being said, I bet that having less reverberation means the organist really has to be on top of their game as it is easier to hear every note, right or wrong. Well done and thank you again for this video and all the videos you and your brother provide. I look forward to seeing you live someday.
The building was innovative in its day - a glass dome to the top - but the acoustics were terrible! The "mushies" (mushrooms) - those flying-saucer-shaped things hanging from the ceiling - mostly sorted that; I think they were fitted in the 1970s.
Such a Majestic and enthralling piece, Johnathan, your enchantment is absolutely incredible and stunning, Tom, you are so incredibly and in tune with your ability to capture the sound in all it’s glory!!
This is some real kick assery.
Thank you for the wonderful music. Greetings from Vancouver Canada
Félicitations pour cette orgue colossale et très bien méprisé sans aide pas toujours facile à faire sur un engin de ce modèle un vrais plaisir merci beaucoup amitiés Gérard 🎼🎶🎹👍👍🎵🎹🎶👍🎵
Stunning. A long time ago when the Salvation Army had one of the concert. The choir singing. The note got stuck. I went to concert. I was about 15/16 years old. Now in my sixties. Always remember. The beautiful sounds, sometimes vibrate through your feet :) love Janet x
Crystal clear sound and picture superb performance. What more could you ask for. Thanks to the Scott bros. Keep 'em coming.
Brian Laywood
At last, Jonathon playing the Albert Hall! it's about time, now for Liverpool Cathedral?!! Impeccable playing as always, great filming by Tom, I am waiting for BACH by Lizst, I am certain that you could perform that as good as anybody in the world....!!
Magnificent. Grand. Glorious. The finale overwhelming. Thank you, Jonathan. Beautiful video as well, Tom. This is the 1st selection of my new playlist: JS Grand Organ. (your Bach is going in there, too). Well done! 🎹🎶
Absolutely fantastic! Such an excellent demonstration of this magnificent organ. And played most musically as well.
Lordy, this takes me back to my high-school graduation, when I marched along side my ex-boyfriends' twin. I loved every minute. I still miss them,I wonder how they are doing?
Really enjoyed that, what a wonderful setting and organ. Thank you Jonathan beautiffuly played hope to have more on RAH.
Apart from the great playing this really is a superb recording of the RAH organ. Probably the best on RUclips!
Best recording of this instrument I've ever heard.
beautiful indeed, another superb peformance of this is by Michael Hey at St Patrick's Cathedral, New York
ruclips.net/video/c9-R4N5zng0/видео.html 😊
All recordings by scottbrothersduo have a very high quality in audio ans video!
One of the best recordings/broadcasts I've heard of the RAH organ is of Richard Hills for the BBC Proms.
Absolutely spine tingling rendition.!!! Jonathan you have such an amazing talent. Thank you
Perfecto!
I wish my high school graduation sounded as good as this!
言葉が出ないほど素晴らしい。。。
Who knew Tom Scott would film this.
Perfect piece, perfect setting, perfect organ, perfect performance!! Now we've finally seen Jonathan at the second largest instrument in the UK (if I've got my facts correct) we eagerly await his presiding over the ultimate Great British organ - Liverpool Anglican Cathedral. Let's hope the wait is not too long...!!
Liverpool Anglican has more pipes, Royal Albert Hall has one more stop so it depends how you quantify large.
I hope he does a Liverpool mini series, because they are all superb.
@@rowanlidbury When I worked for an Organ Builder I was taught it's the number of pipes, but I'm happy to bow to a superior intellect. I thought I was just making a favourable comment.....that'll teach me.
They are basically as big as each other. Its only by a smidgin that Liverpool is 'bigger'. RAH certainly has some colossal sub bass flutes (32s) on the front, which are some of the biggest in the world.
@@iwasglad122 I would go by number of pipes as well. I suppose it is open to debate, you can have 1500 pipes and get 140 stops out of it with unification and duplexing, so I suppose that is one reason people tend to go for the number of pipes when measuring how large the instrument is.
The number of pipes is a definite quantity whereas the number of stops can vary for a given number of pipes with borrowing etc. And the quality of an organ of course has nothing to do with size. The RAH represents a happy marrying of superb quality with large size. I'm anxious to hear Jonathan in Australia. In Melbourne (Town Hall) we have a similar marying of quality and size as with the RAH (and the same size within a few pipes). Sydney Town Hall is a little smaller but has the honour(?) of a genuine 64' pedal rank (not resultant). And there are many good smaller instruments. We aren't quite as blessed as the UK, nor Europe (sorry, I think of them as separate), but there's enough!
We want Jonathan Scott municipal organist of London at RAH!
You know that would also mean there is no room left for beautiful content like this video. I would suggest that Jonathan keeps doing what he is doing right now :)
Christiaan Paans you have a very serious point there sir.
@@bakskekoffie I don't think being the 'resident' organist at the RAH would make much difference. It is hardly ever used, and when it is, visiting organists are normally invited to play.
god bless you , may you live forever
Hope you're able to do some recordings at the Boardwalk Organ when its more completely restored!
MARAVILHOSO! ♡
Órgão e organista espetaculares.
Thank you for highlighting all the beautiful parts not truly audible with orchestration
Le Royal Albert Hall est peut être la plus belle salle de spectacle sonore des temps modernes construite. Les Odéons de l'Antiquité étaient de dimensions moindres je pense.
Land of hope and glory, mother of the free. England!
Love the satire
Now that sounds grand as my dear Grandpa would have said !
WOW! I agree with ALL the comments I have read, AND, may I add, that it was WONDERFUL to see more beautiful angles of the RAH INTERIOR then we have EVER seen in other concert RECORDED productions INCLUDING the PROMS !!! My partner and I visited England in 2007, we were there, but COULD NOT enter the hall because on that date, cirque du soleil was performing and with all the equipment in the hall, the staff did not want us getting hurt on 'things'..... Well, I got some photos of the office area and of course many of the exterior as a keep sake from back in that day and our lovely vacation in the UK (((O:
So shocked... how amazing and talented this person is 👏👏👏
At least in Britain, there is still some emphasis on the organ - here in America, no one gives a DAMN about an organ - even the churches have opted for "keyboards" that can add little except theatrical effects to worship; truly one step below liturgical apostasy!
more dumbing down with full mediocrity as the normal
Then again, just look what happened to the 4/57 Compton organ at Wolverhampton Civic Hall, the largest organ to leave the John Compton factory. Destroyed by a local authority under the guise of "possible asbestos contamination". No testing carried out at the time, just the excuse that it would be too costly to test all components of the organ. The organ was scrapped and a fly tower above the stage was to be constructed in it's place. This, coupled with the addition of 400 seats has cost around £40 Million, and it is still not finished...
Love the music. Thank you Jonathan!
Orgão com som potente, majestoso e arrepiante Bravo Jonathan!!!
Bravo! Fabulous playing, registration, and filming. Why isn’t this masterpiece heard more often solo?
A grand piece of English classical music on a grand English organ. The Royal Albert Hall organ is one of the greatest examples of English baroque organ building. An organ suited for such grand music.
English yes but definitely not baroque in style it’s a romantic era organ
Absolutely wonderful! I really fail to understand why there are some 'thumbs down' for this. Must be deaf or stupid!
It's just the usual morons, who go about 'disliking' videos on principle. Like the poor, the morons are always with us.
@@Offshoreorganbuilder there is also jealousy. Surely one of the more undesirable of all human sins.
@@ds1868 True.
There are some stupid people who make it there mission to thumbs down almost everyone on RUclips.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are bots that go and downvote every video with a certain amount of views.
Many years ago I played Double Bass with our County Youth Orchestra at one of the Schools Proms at the Royal Albert Hall. Our Director of Music conducted the first piece we played which was William Tell Overture. We then played this piece that Jonathan is playing, but we were conducted by a guest conductor. During rehearsals our Director asked if he could play the Organ for the Concert, the answer came back as NO, he then said well I am a FRCO and an RCO examiner, and I used to be Assistant Organist at Canterbury Cathedral and before that Peterborough Cathedral. He played the Organ for the Concert.
@CDB8939 Good for him. Just goes to show you need to shift a lot of weight before the Hall authorities take notice.
Both the piece and the way the musician played it are so monumental....if you don’t feel anything, then you are dead.
I've watched this many times but only recently spotted the use of the bass drum at 2:06.
Bravissimo! Rule, Britannia!
Absolutely fabulous! It is impressive to see the dimensions of the front pipes on the corners... bravo!!!
The front pipes are the 32' Contra Violone, the tallest being 40 feet in height. Being made of over 90% tin they would be hugely expensive to make today. If cleaned they would be bright and shiny.
Absolute fantastic. What a wonderful instrument.🇿🇦
64' Acoustic Bass stop? Really? What could *that* feel like, a stroke?
Absolutely, it's very atmospheric!
It's a 64' acoustic bass, not 32'.
@@ds1868 Sorry. I knew it was 64, but I typed 32. C-1 would be 8 Hz. I changed it above. That's c-minus 1)
Maybe it is part of the HVAC system. ;)
@@jimshaw899 Ha ha that would certainly be an interesting idea. As you probably know this is a derived stop, using one of the 32's and a quint rank to produce the 64' fundamentals. There are only two real 64' stops in the world (Atlantic City Philadelphia and Sydney Town Hall). Atlantic City has the distinction of having the only 128' derived stop in the world.
Love, love Pomp and Circumstance!
My dream is to play that song in that organ 😍😍
absolutely fantastic...one of my favourite videos on yt
My choirmaster Mr Kuberler when I was a boy at Saint Aloysius Roman Catholic Church
Would’ve been in his glory playng on that Organ,Indirectly taught me to appreciate the beauty of finer Classic music...Carried throughout my life thank you
I just graduated high school. June 9, 2024.
every colledge grad should recognize😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 this HOORAY
That'd bring a tear to a glass eye!
Beautifully said!!!
burst in tears right at @5:29
Always stirs mixed emotions when I hear this piece. Thank you Jonathon for sharing with us.
Oh my...!! What a fantastic rendition of such a well known piece. I've attended various concerts including this mighty instrument over the decades - both before the restoration and subsequently - I've never heard it played with such precision and with a sense of what the music being played is actually about!
I remember hearing this organ just before it was restored and immediately after and of course the difference was like night and day. Pre restoration it was like a wheezing asthmatic pensioner with limited capabilities - after restoration it had the power yet subtlety fully warranting it's "Voice of Jupiter" moniker. The RoH is of course notorious for it's acoustic deficiencies but over the years you get to learn where some of the sweet spots are and once in them you are rewarded with a balanced and airy sound - a shame it's pretty hit and miss where they are depending on layouts and placings for each performance! Thanks again for a great arrangement and performance.
Thank you somehow seems inadequate!
The organ... my line to god.
Splendid organ and videography, SUPERB performance! LOVE your videos, thank you!
Oh nicely done. Not an easy piece even as the full orchestral!
Holy moly, utterly in awe of the playing and the instrument
thats a massive organ with about ten thousand pipes
9,997 pipes to be precise.
Wonderful performance and video! What a magnificent place! Congratulations and thank you both for this beautiful video!
Qué sonidos tan bellos e hipnóticos ,gracias.
